I'm considering spending 1-2 years in the DR, but am unsure if I will find work and a decent place to live, or if it is even a reasonable idea.
Based on what I've read it seems likes it's possible, but I don't have many connections there. I have not finished college (going to take "leave of absence"), but I speak spanish fluently and have been to the DR a number of times, but never in search of a job.
On average, How long does it take for a foreigner to get a job? What's the average cost of rent? Is it neccesary to have visas/papers to work if you are not a resident of the DR? What are the best towns/cities for finding work in the tourist industry? Who should I talk to? If anyone has any suggestions or advice, it would be very helpful. Thanks.
